Back on bed rest

Well, I went back to the doctor today, and the appointment went about as expected...

(If you've read my blog or want to read back, you'll know that I was put on bed rest with Kyndall.)

When I went 2 weeks ago, my blood pressure was elevated- 137/86. My doctor doesn't like anything over 140/90. She was also concerned with the fact that I was having braxton hicks. She said something about bed rest, and I think the look on mine and C's face told her we were not expected it at that moment. She said we'd reassess in 2 weeks.

Therefore, today went as expected. My BP was still slightly elevated and there is now traces of protein. She also looked at my BPs over the last 2 weeks and didn't like the way they looked, even after raising my dosage on my meds.

I will be 27wks on Monday Sept. 3. Our first major goal is 36weeks. After that, we'll take it a week at a time.
